Kindness in the classroom! Last week, during BES Kindness Week, students from 4K - 3rd grade were learning about kindness in all corners of the school - in their classrooms, in guidance class, in PE and science class. Students truly enjoyed learning about kindness in all sorts of different ways!
Way to be kind, Mustangs!!

We are SO lucky to have such committed professionals continue to Grow into Greatness with our Brookwood Family.

Participate in learning all aspects of gardening, growing produce, houseplants and propagating plants. Come and find out how to grow native plants in your yard to promote pollinators.

What a great day to be a Mustang! BMS held a spirit assembly to celebrate our the boy's basketball team and cheerleaders! The boy's basketball team went head to head against some of our male staff members in a tough game that went into overtime! Way to play hard, Mustangs!!!
Last Sunday, Mrs. Nast and Mrs. Fitzsimmons took their kindness students to Walmart to do some random acts of kindness. The students did an amazing job and were touched by the reactions they received. One shopper who received a flower from our student was in disbelief, she told the student, "you don't know how much this means to me right now" and was brought to tears. It was a touching moment that the students still talk about. Here is what their kindness mission at Walmart looked like. Way to go, Kindness Squad!!

This week during BES Kindness Week, each grade level brainstormed and came up with a service project. The students are very excited about spreading kindness this week. Along with their service projects, students will be immersed in kindness within their classroom doing fun and academic activities, in guidance they will be learning more about kindness and random acts of kindness, in PE they will be learning about being kind to their bodies and in science they will be learning about being kind to animals and nature. Don't forget about dress up days - classrooms will get points for the number of students who dress up! Random Acts of Kindness Day sheets are due back on Tuesday, we can't wait to see what your family did for Random Acts of Kindness Day tomorrow!! It's going to be a great week of kindness at BES!! Here are some students sharing what their grade level is doing for their kindness week service project! Thank you to all the families who have helped donate items to make their service projects successful.
